Electrical installation in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Electrical installation covers new work: added outlets and lighting, recessed lights, under-cabinet lights, exterior lights, and the full wiring for a kitchen, bath, basement or addition. It is the electrical part of most remodels.
In Metro Detroit, many remodels happen in older homes with small services and original wiring. A careful electrician checks panel capacity and the condition of existing circuits before tying new work into them. Finishing a basement also means planning for smoke alarms, GFCI and AFCI protection, and egress lighting.
Timing matters on remodels. Rough wiring is inspected with walls open, before drywall, so coordinate the schedule with your general contractor.
What a proper job includes
- A walk-through and written plan of outlets, switches and fixtures
- Panel capacity check and new circuits as needed
- Rough wiring, boxes and cable secured to code
- Rough inspection before walls are closed
- Installing devices, fixtures and cover plates
- Final inspection and a labeled panel directory
What drives the price
- Number of outlets, switches, fixtures and circuits
- Open framing versus fishing wire through finished or plaster walls
- Fixture type, such as recessed, pendant, under-cabinet or exterior
- Panel capacity and whether a subpanel or upgrade is needed
- Smart switches, dimmers and lighting controls
- Patching and painting after work in finished areas
- Remodel schedule and coordination with other trades

Permits and licensing in Michigan
New wiring needs an electrical permit from the enforcing agency for your address (the state, county, city or township; in Detroit, BSEED), usually with a rough inspection before walls close and a final inspection at the end. A licensed electrical contractor pulls it, or a homeowner may pull one for work they do themselves in a single-family home they own and occupy. In Detroit, a Certificate of Acceptance closes the permit.
Michigan licenses electrical contractors, master electricians and journeyman electricians through LARA's Bureau of Construction Codes. Check the company's electrical contractor license on the LARA lookup before you sign.
